NEGRO SERVITUDE IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PA . A D. 1800. 



(Thr (Uluiatiaua Etnt. 



'Twas here that first was heard the thrilhiis' cry 

W'hicli ijcaled the knell of hondag-e thro' the land : 
"Twas here that first our people took the stand 

\Miich cleansed us from the guilt of slavery — - 
^'e call it Riot! Lol it made men free! 
It was a trumpet call, clear, loud and grand, 

And in good time, oheying its command 
We heard our Union s]ieak for Liberty. 

Here slavery first died. The blood shed here 

Destroved the chains of every trembling slave; 
Tt bound the Nation Axith a link more dear 

And took from us a stigma dark and grave. 
So thus we mark this fair September morn.
